Children's Version of 60 Classical Chinese Poems

About the Book

Sixty classical Chinese poems are translated into English specifically for children, which have been on everyone’s lips in China over a thousand of years. Children in China are required to read, recite and write in memory at least 40 of the poems in their first 6 school years. The influence of the poems on children is profound. Children familiar with the poems usually have better linguistic skills, communication skills and leadership. This book has paid particular attention to rhymes and rhythms, so that the translated poems, like the original ones, can be chanted as easy as singing jump rope rhymes. Readers will delight in the poems, recite, enjoy reading, or even absorb spiritual nutrition from the poems, whether when they are young or grown up.
